Back in the Pan...& Cartosat-2 launch postponed

Well...after a long gap was back in the kitchen cooking..made some pasta with tomato sauce...turns out am still pretty good..though my bro & SIL had little option to refute my claims..as they were made to wait till half past ten and must have been starving enough to eat the penne "raw"...anyway it was nice to be able to enter the kitchen...hope to be able to do this more often....Aubergine is next on the menu !

Indian Space Research Organisation has put off this month's launch of Cartosat-2, the advanced remote sensing satellite, to January due to problems faced during the testing phase.

Carrying on board a single panchromatic camera capable of providing scene-specific spot imageries for cartographic and a host of other applications, the 650 kg spacecraft was slated to be launched this month by a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.

The panchromatic camera has been designed to provide better than one meter spatial resolution imageries with a swath of around ten km.


Well...heres to a successful launch of Cartosat-2 and a return of "The Master Chef"...
